PARAMETRIC STUDIES FOR A RESPONSIVE SURFACE SYSTEM 2

+ Change in angle generates different spatial distributions. Digital form- finding processes are used to investigate possible structures and spacial distributions. 2D Delaunay triangulation, Voronoi and networking diagrams help to understand relations between components in their eighth stage of growth.
The figures make evident the symmetrical condition of a system which has not been affected by external forces. Yet.
+ the voronoi diagrams inform as to gradual morphological changes; from figure 1 to 3, geometrical symmetry has been broken. Differentiation is achieved through variations in the distance between intersections (points) and the applied force.

PRELIMINARY STUDIES FOR A RESPONSIVE SURFACE SYSTEM 1

“In short, emergent articulations within surfaces will aim at
introducing an emergent form of aggregation, as Greg Lynn has defined it in Intricacy, “a non-modular construction where almost each and every part is unique in shape and dimension”. “Variations are not random but are derived from the overall composition of a whole. Aggregations are instances where modular components are complexly connected to produce a mass or form that is not simply reducible to a single modular logic of assembly.”

VERTICAL ECOLOGIES I



The goal of the project was to bring a new level of
performative organizational systems to the consideration
of tall buildings. Through hybridization and performance
oriented design the system presents diverse possibilities
for high-risers with a diffferent set of intelligent and
conscientious realizations.

“The intensive studio experimented with form-finding procedures for lightweight membrane and cable-net structures. Single membrane patches and membrane assemblies were analysed with regards to their environmental performance, considering their geometry and orientation towards environmental input within a specific context. Light (luminous flow, illuminance, shading and
self-shading) and airflow studies informed the design of specific membrane arrangements. Physical modelling was complemented by the production of digital models of work in progress. The end result of the masterclass was a series of membrane and cable-net pavilion prototype designs at a
scale of 1/10”
